REO Properties

Lender Owned or “REO” properties are owned by a lender, typically a bank, government agency, or government loan insurer—after an unsuccessful sale at a foreclosure auction.

If there are no bidders or buyers that are interested, then the beneficiary will legally repossess the property. This is commonly the case when the amount owed on the home is higher than the current market value of the property that has been foreclosed. As soon as the bank or lender repossesses the property it is listed on their books as REO and categorized as an non-performing asset.

The bank or lender will remove the liens and other debts on the “Asset” and try to resell it to the public, either through future auctions, direct marketing through a real estate broker.
